I’m Scared That My Neighbor Hates My Puppy

Hello all,

I live in a small, one-bedroom apartment. I have an adorable five-month-old puppy. He is usually very calm and doesn't bark or make noise randomly.

But…

Whenever someone passes in front of the door, though, he goes crazy and barks so loudly that it hurts my ears. Every time my neighbor passes by, I feel bad because I think I'm annoying them so much.

I don't know what to do. I've never met them, and they haven't complained about the dog. Still, I feel like it's pretty annoying. I can seal the bottom of the door, so hopefully he won't hear or smell me passing by. Or should I introduce my puppy to them?
